Howard Markert from Youngstown Ohio is a Green Party candidate for Mahoning County Commissioner.
Markert said hydraulic fracturing is not new.
“It’s been in use for more than 60 years. What’s new is the combination of the horizontal drilling technique, which has only been around for about 15 years, and the high volume slick water concept. Instead of tens of thousands or 50,000 gallons of water per well, they’re using anywhere from 8 to 10 million gallons of water per well; and anywhere from 7,500 to 50,000 gallons of concentrated chemicals.”
Market said those who say there are no alternatives to fracking for providing the energy to run modern society should look to Germany.
“Currently, Germany, a country four times the size of Ohio, produces more than 40 percent of their energy from renewables. They produce more energy from solar panels---both photovoltaic and thermal---than all of North America combined. Yet they’re farther north than Ohio, and have only 50 percent of the available solar energy that we do.”
Markert said public policy explains the difference between Germany and the United States.
“Germany’s government have been very proactive in making sure that subsidies and incentives are put in place to encourage the development of green energy alternatives and discourage the use of fossil fuels through taxes.”

10/06/2012 - FRACK MOB!
All bodies rise against fossil fuels! Shut down Spectra Pipeline!
Sat. Oct. 6th, 12:30pm
@ Brecht Forum courtyard
451 West St by Bank St.
We will paint bodies toxic green to represent the poisons Spectra Energy plans on pumping into our city.
This action aims to celebrate the human body but also expose the vulnerability of our flesh, lacking the armor to withstand the toxins from fracked gas.
We have witnessed throughout the Summer of Solidarity the power of people using their bodies for direct action. Our very own comrade, Lopi, was seriously injured by police when she entered the Spectra site to protest their construction. She is fighting to walk again. But she is still fighting the fossil fuel energy every day.
They have money but we have the strength of the human spirit.
Let us create an image that is unmistakable, unforgettable, shocking and gorgeous.
Be ready to be as bare as you dare. Bathing suits are Ok, too!
Let's give 'em a show they'll never forget.

Blowouts and fires... we do not need

In my personal opinion, fracking is still as dangerous as drilling if not more. It's inherently dangerous and should not be done anywhere near the city. We need to find alternate energy sources or mechanisms for energy rather than strip, blow up and decimate our habitats.
